About the Book
Dr. Naar, one of the fi rst two Pittsburgh psychologists in full-time private practice, recounts his therapy sessions with nuns, without jargon or explanation. The humanity of both persons grounds the reader. Each chapter briefl y introduces the sister, and then presents therapy session dialogues, with occasional brief comments. Clients come to terms with their situations and themselves as they more fully acknowledge -what they had known only implicitly and fl eetingly. Readers witness the evolution of mutual warmth and respect. Clients move on from therapy renewed, readier for their chosen lives. Each chapter is compelling.
